Study Engineering in Germany

Engineers not only invent new products, they also control the safety of their applications. Awareness of consumer protection and environmental safety nowadays are integrated competencies of engineering qualifications. Ongoing industrialization, the globalization of business, the expansion of information technology, the use of new materials and the enormous increase in the world population are a continuous challenge to the world of engineering, which is committed to maintaining the standard of living in technically developed countries and to increasing the standard of living in less developed countries.

Engineers of the future have an explicit interdisciplinary inclination. They communicate and cooperate with biologists, geologists, doctors and sociologists, always considering the interdependence of the areas, and refer to this in their actions. This requires considerable social skills, including the prowess for understanding people who speak other languages and are of different cultures.

There is a specific need for the engineer who creates new work areas by going beyond the limits of existing technology. Some might even start up a new enterprise. The qualification of such engineers is not determined by contemporary professional practice. The engineer of the future is a personality highly aware of the necessity of continuous personal development and lifelong learning.
